Margie Dana, highly respected founder, of Print Buyers International, will present a fascinating insight about the most relevant trends and challenges of today’s print customers on Thursday, November 17, at a program sponsored by Printing Industries Alliance of Long Island (PIA-LI).

A passionate and well-sought after speaker throughout the U.S. and international community, she will touch on subjects such as: how print buyers feel about printers as Marketing Service Providers; what’s their take on print management firms; how “elite” buyers are different from other print buyers; who they turn to for up-to-date print education; are they are a “half-empty” or “half-full” crowd and most importantly, what print providers can do to earn their business.

Ms. Dana will also share specific feedback from her own 6^th Annual Print & Media Conference in Chicago, co-located with Graph Expo and promises to provide PIA-LI program attendees with new and innovative ideas to implement in their own company to improve customer relationships.

The program will be held from 5:30-8:30 pm at The Hilton Long Island, 598 Broadhollow Road, Melville (near exit 49 off the Long Island Expressway) beginning with registration and networking (open bar) at 5:30. A buffet dinner commences at 6:30 pm, with Ms. Dana’s presentation commencing at 7:15.
